Abstract
An electrical-component add-on is provided for use with a prosthetic cardiac valve including a tubular frame. The electrical-component add-on includes a support and one or more electrical components. The support is (a) configured to assume delivery and deployed configurations, (b) configured to be positioned above, at, or below an annulus of a native cardiac valve of a heart, and (c) shaped as a ring when in the deployed configuration, so as to receive the tubular frame of the prosthetic cardiac valve within the support. The one or more electrical components are supported by the support, and include an antenna and one or more electrodes. Other embodiments are also described.
